What if you got paid for surfing the web? An explanation of BAT (Basic Attention Token) Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where we spend one minute a day explaining crypto. In plain English. Today, we'll present you with an intriguing new way to look at the internet: What if YOU got paid for surfing the web? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? In a world where big tech companies not only steal your data, but also make money selling it to advertisers, you never see a single cent. In fact, they do all that to sell YOU something. Yet there is browser that promises the opposite: Brave. It looks and feels just like Chrome or Safari, but with a twist: At its core, it wants to protect your privacy by aggressively blocking trackers and advertisements. And there is a big twist: You can get paid in Brave's "Basic Attention Token", short BAT, when you accept ads. You are literally getting paid for your attention, hence the name. It's the dream of Web3 proponents: Turn the business models of big tech on their heads. But is it going to work in the long run? We think there is a good chance. Ad blockers, VPNs, and consumer laws are already aggressively clamping down on ads, giving big tech less access to your data whether they want it or not. And when you look at Brave's business model, it is really not so different from Google: Brave sells their advertisers access to your screen instead of just being the browser in between. The difference? You control the show and get in on the action. This podcast is produced by Cryptohunt.it, the easiest place to learn crypto.

In what the news organization is referring to as Britain's largest-ever seizure of cryptocurrency -- and one of the biggest seizures anywhere, ever -- London's Metropolitan Police confiscated $249 million worth of crypto (without divulging which kinds, specifically) allegedly linked to international money-laundering operations. And although no one can fault authorities for investigating and confiscating any ill-gotten gains, the fact that police forces around the world are working to trace these funds suggests that crypto's untraceability and anonymity -- two big reasons why cryptocurrency got popular in the first place -- are now no longer assured.https://ambcrypto.com/these-numbers-prove-that-theres-no-stopping-bitcoin-here/These numbers prove that ‘there's no stopping' Bitcoin hereAfter the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] directed the financial institutions from restricting services for businesses involved in cryptocurrencies, users turned to the peer-to-peer mode of transfers.

Warner Bros. is the engine behind the new Space Jam film with LeBron James. Nifty's, on the other hand, is an NFT-focused social media platform.NFTs are digital doohickeys backed by blockchain technology, which acts as a certificate of authenticity because it holds a record of ownership. For example, a Eminem fan would pay a premium for Slim Shady NFT because the blockchain validates that his favorite artist is the original owner.https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/https://coinmarketcap.com/Please subscribe, like, and share so that more and more people can view this content.DISCLAIMER: I will never give any financial advice.

$BAT Basic Attention Token - Cryptocurrency Coin Analysis --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cryptopodcast/support
By Charles Awanda, Certified Blockchain Expert, Chief Knowledge Broker Songhai labs. Blockchain is widely known as the technology behind the popular cryptocurrency bitcoin. But as its name indicates, it is an end to end digital record of any given transaction. Blockchain is made with individual records called blocks that are linked together to form a chain of blocks. Blockchain is designed to be transparent, immutable, secured, and distributed. Although the most known applications of Blockchain are in the world of Finance and technology, Digital Marketing could be an area that will see an explosion of blockchain applications in the coming years. We will explore in this paper 3 key reasons why digital marketers should embrace blockchain. You can promote ads without a middleman The current digital marketing advertising models today use third parties companies such as Google to promote advertising. Let’s go through an example. Let’s say a company wants to use Search Engine Marketing for promotion. Instead of organically finding advertisers, they might decide to display Google Banner ads on their website because of the credibility and reputation of Google. In this case, Google will act as a middleman. Google is a third party platform that connects advertisers with customers Third parties companies are therefore used as middlemen in the process between companies placing ads and end-user consumers. What ads promoters hope to get from third parties like Google is to utilize their reputation and the ability to reach a targeted audience. Although this approach is the most widely used, it does not always guarantee an appropriate targeted audience and it generates costs from ads promoters to compensate the third parties companies. Blockchain enables advertisers to skip middlemen networks and advertise to a more targeted audience that is actually interested in viewing the ad. The Brave browser of BAT (Basic Attention Token) will reward consumers with tokens for the ads for which they interact. So in this model, the trade is not focused on the availability of ad space but rather on the attention the ad generates. It can eliminate ad fraud Ad fraud is a criminal activity that uses deliberate and malicious techniques to distort and distract the delivery of ad contents to the correct targeted audience. Ad fraud can take different forms: traffic fraud, click fraud, conversion fraud, ad stacking, etc. One of the key reasons ad frauds are happening is because third party companies that play the role of intermediaries are not incentivized to differentiate between human beings and robots. Blockchain technology can significantly reduce ad fraud as it introduces radical transparency in the ad industry. Advertising is essentially a number’s game. Digital publishers get most of their money from ads display but at the same time ads display are a function of the traffic digital publishers can draw in their websites. In order to capture that traffic, different fraudulent activities are initiated. According to a report by emarketer.com, Digital advertising in 2019 generated around $128.53 billion and was projected for about half of all media ad spend. In that year, about 42 billion were lost in fraud. If the trend continues the amount of ad fraud could reach 100 billion by 2023. Thus, the critical necessity to tackle the problem. Blockchain offers an ideal solution to counter Ad fraud. The traceability makes it easier for advertisers to track who is viewing the ads and ensures the ads are going to the right target audience. Through blockchain, it is possible to develop effective performance metrics that involve the total expenditure, number of views, conversion, and engagement rates that optimizes ad safety and precision of targeting real audiences. There are currently different blockchain startups and projects that fight against ad fraud using blockchain technology. Toyota is currently developing a blockchain-...

요즘 많이 쓰이는 용어 'DApp'에 대해 쉽게 알려드립니다. 'Decentralized Application'을 'DApp'이라 하는데, 다음의 특성을 가지고 있습니다. 1) 오픈 소스를 활용하고 자율적인 운영 2) 블록체인 기술 기반 탈중앙화 3) 가치가 저장되는 암호화폐 사용 4) 알고리즘 기반 토큰 생성. DApp 중에서 광고를 차단하는 블록체인 기반 브라우저를 만든 BAT(Basic Attention Token)의 사례도 설명해 드립니다.
Spend a few minutes online - and it’s hard to not notice the ads all around you - even if you’re using an adblocker. Many websites you go to are in some way funded by advertising dollars. Over the years these ads have become more and more invasive, both on the screen and to our privacy. They even slow down the sites we visit - they can take up to 50% of page load times. There are cookies trying to build a profile on you and trackers that follow your habits - enter Brave. Brave is an internet browser that blocks all ads and fights for privacy online. It’s also 2x faster on desktop and up to 7x on mobile. Brave recently started allowing you to contribute to the sites you visit most. They did an initial coin offering, ICO, which created tokens (a type of cryptocurrency) called BAT (Basic Attention Token) that could be used to pay content creators. My guest this week is Yan - who is the Chief Information Security Officer at Brave.
“Substratum is a coin that I’m very bullish on, especially with the news of Net Neutrality coming out.” - Jai Bhavani (click to tweet) There’s more than just Bitcoin.
